LET US EXPLAIN
While the team here at Coopers Store are well versed in Australian Hardwood Timbers, we understand that to many people, all this talk of timber, coupled with design lingo and bespoke finishes can be like a different language. Below we have answered some of our more frequently asked questions, but by all means, contact us for more information about any of our products or processes. We’d welcome to the opportunity to share our passion.
DO YOU DO CUSTOM MADE PIECES?
Yes, we do. All pieces are made to order and therefore anything is able to be custom made; in differing size, timber and design. We have a lot of people come in with a drawing or photo from Pinterest asking if we could do something similar – Yes, we certainly can!
HOW LONG WILL MY ORDER TAKE TO COMPLETE?
Lead time can vary at different times of the year, but a good rule of thumb is 12 weeks from date of deposit. Some people will be quite shocked by this, but it is quite standard in a made to order situation and even more so for custom made pieces. We ask for your patience while your Coopers pieces are being created, it is a labour of love.
